War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously as they eagerly awaited his answer. They really wanted to know how Duan Ling Tian, who had just recently become a rudimentary Lord of Gods, managed to kill two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect who were intermediate Lords of Gods. Although Duan Ling Tian was widely acknowledged as a monstrous prodigy, it was still a shocking feat for him to kill not one, but two intermediate Lords of Gods. After all, in their opinion, his comprehension of the law of space could not be compared to that of intermediate Lords of Gods.

“Duan Ling Tian seems uninjured… How did he do it exactly?”

Duan Ling Tian smiled as he replied, “Will anyone believe me if I say I was only lucky I managed to kill those two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect?”

“Lucky? Can you elaborate?” someone asked.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he said, “Previously, I wandered the Lord Battlefield for about two months, but I still didn’t see anyone. Then, when I arrived at a snowy land, I saw two men, who weren’t from the Flying Dragon Sect, fighting a life-or-death battle.”

It was no secret that Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An hated each other.

A member of the Tai Yi Sect could not help but ask, “You’re saying our two inner elders were fighting among themselves on the Lord Battlefield?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I can see their attacks were fatal when they attacked; they didn’t hold back at all and clearly intended to kill each other. I overheard bits and pieces of their conversation when they fought. If I’m not mistaken, Wang Liu An had something to do with the death of Fang Yi Ming’s master. In any case, they were stronger than I am so I couldn’t reveal myself. I waited patiently, and after a few days, when they were both severely injured, I seized the opportunity and easily killed them. After obtaining their identity tokens, I left the Lord Battlefield to come here. It’s too dangerous for me there, after all. I really didn’t expect to gain so many war points during my first visit to the Lord Battlefield.”

The crowd was still stunned when Duan Ling Tian walked away. They only regained their senses when Duan Ling Tian disappeared at the end of the street.

“Heavens! So that’s what happened!”

“Duan Ling Tian is really lucky! He even managed to encounter two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect, who were fighting to the death, and took advantage of the situation.”

“I’m so jealous! He obtained 4,000 war points so easily.”

“It’d be great if I can also run into two members of the Tai Yi Sect fighting a life-or-death battle!”

The Flying Dragon Sect members discussed animatedly among themselves while the members of the Tai Yi Sect left one after another with unsightly expressions on their faces.

Although the members of the Tai Yi Sect were silent, they were all inwardly cursing Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An. After they sent news about what happened, many people from the Tai Yi Sect also began to curse Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An. The duo had become sinners in the eyes of the members of the Tai Yi Sect.

…

“What?! Wang Liu An and Fang Yi Ming were killed by Duan Ling Tian? The Duan Ling Tian who killed 100 of our Kings of Gods a few years ago?”

“How did he kill two of our inner elders when he only became a rudimentary Lord of Gods not too long ago?”

“The two inner elders were fighting a life-or-death battle, and he took advantage of the situation and killed the duo when the duo was seriously injured.”

“I was there when Duan Ling Tian spoke about this. I heard him say that the enmity between the duo stemmed from Wang Liu An’s involvement in the death of Fang Yi Ming’s master.”

“How embarrassing! The Flying Dragon Sect must be laughing at our sect now!”

“What the hell were the duo thinking? We’re in the midst of the Imperial War, and they were on the Lord Battlefield. Why would they fight each other on the Lord Battlefield? They could’ve just done it in the sect if they were really so eager to kill each other! With that, at least, they wouldn’t have embarrassed our sect!”

“They’re a disgrace to our Tai Yi Sect!”

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that his explanation had turned Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An into sinners in the Tai Yi Sect. The duo was widely condemned by everyone in the Tai Yi Sect even after their deaths. Even their relatives and friends felt embarrassed because of them.

Duan Ling Tian only found out about the matter a month later from Xue Hai Chuan.

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head and said, “Little Tian, if those two inner elders came back to life, they would definitely regret their actions if they learned about the current plight of their relatives and friends. I really wonder what was going through their minds. How could they fight to such an extent on the Lord Battlefield? They must have known how risky it was…”

Duan Ling Tian felt slightly sheepish upon hearing those words. In fact, Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An were quite restrained when they fought. This was especially true for Wang Liu An who clearly did not want to fight Fang Yi Ming. He knew that if he did not appear, Wang Liu An would have escaped from Fang Yi Ming to avoid fighting. In the end, he thought to himself, ‘You can only blame the members of the Tai Yi Sect for being nosy. I wouldn’t have come up with such an explanation if they didn’t ask so many questions.’

After leaving the Lord Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian, who had overheard Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An’s conversation, found out that many people were aware of the enmity between Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An. Hence, he decided to come up with such an explanation. It was not too far off from the truth, after all. The duo’s well-known feud would give credibility to his explanation as well. Moreover, everyone also had a tough time believing that a new rudimentary Lord of Gods like him was capable of killing two intermediate Lords of Gods. They would naturally be more inclined to believe that Duan Ling Tian took advantage of the situation. Even if the Tai Yi Sect believed otherwise, they still would not admit it. After all, the Tai Yi Sect would become a laughingstock if they admitted that a new rudimentary Lord of Gods was capable of killing two of their intermediate Lords of Gods.

With Duan Ling Tian’s explanation, even if the Tai Yi Sect did not take action against Fang Yi Ming and Wang Liu An’s relatives and friends, the members would definitely vent their anger on them.

At this time, Xue Hai Chuan seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Little Tian, I heard you used up the 4,000 war points you obtained. Do you have many things you need in Peace City?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded and replied truthfully, “There are indeed many things I need. I’ll be entering closed-door cultivation after using the things I obtained recently. After that, I’ll enter the Lord Battlefield again to gain more war points.”

“How many war points do you still need?” Xue Hai Chuan asked.

Duan Ling Tian replied, “About 14,000 war points. I still have to kill quite a few inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect. If I can kill an Underworld Elder, it’d be great. I’ll be able to obtain triple the number of war points.”

Killing Intermediate Lords of Gods would give one 2,000 war points each. However, killing a White Dragon Elder or an Underworld Elder would give one6,000 war points. It was triple the war points for killing inner elders.

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head. “Kill an Underworld Elder? It’s not that easy. Little Tian, you shouldn’t be blindly confident just because you killed two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect. Based on your current strength, you won’t be a match for an inner elder at the peak of his or her strength, let alone an Underworld Elder. An Underworld Elder is as strong as three inner elders, after all.”
